On my way to the #XPSummit, come say hi if you're here and/or if you see me! ๐Ÿค˜๐Ÿป

Does drinking out of a mug with my own name on it make me a psychopath? Found this mug and I have no idea where it's from or why I have it but it was the perfect size for my oolong ๐Ÿ˜ญ

I got a cool Atari shirt at PAX ๐Ÿ•น๏ธ๐Ÿคฉ

Updating the build in the hotel room an hour before the expo ๐Ÿ˜ฌ if that's not indie I'm not sure what is (Changes made by our lovely devs, not me)

So many cool things at PAX that I don't need ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ Like these amazing books from @mistymountaingames.com where they will refill them with paper when you finish them ๐Ÿ˜

Love that Ben & Jerry's can be a business expense

If you're at #paxeast come see our booth! Ultimate Sheep Raccoon in full swiiing ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฆ๐Ÿšฒ

Not sure if everyone knows this but if you press ctrl + ; it opens up an emoji window so you can put them anywhere in any typing application. Only Windows shortcut worth remembering (other than Win+shift+S).

One of my fave lines in a song: "Grab the bull by the horns, the old adage goes. Nobody tells you where to go from there" (From Atreyu - Becoming the Bull)

Hey look it's me!

Great article from Peter Attia about the shortcomings of the most recent US dietary guidelines: "... are meant to help those at more imminent risk of nutrition-related health problems, not to help any given individual attain maximal possible health." peterattiamd.com/new-dietary-...

This is why we make games! Just discovered Wonderputt Forever through @weloveeverygame.bsky.social and it's truly a reminder that games are art. Thank you @dampgnat.bsky.social !๐Ÿงตโ†“ store.steampowered.com/app/1766540/...

I don't really watch TV so I don't know if they're all like this but damn Severance is SO GOOD (just finished season 1)

YES it's happening, only 9 years after PC launch ๐Ÿ˜‚ Really excited for this, we've been working with @noodlecake.bsky.social for a while now and it's looking and feeling good ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Tip for people at #GDC who are running around too much from meeting to meeting: speak notes from meetings into GPT and have it summarize your rambling ๐Ÿ˜Ž then paste that whole thing into notes to review later!

Our panel starts in 10 minutes! Come to room 2005 in Moscone West to learn about leadership in crisis ๐Ÿ‘€

If you're in SF for #GDC2025, highly recommend checking out Vital Tea Leaf in Chinatown ๐Ÿต

Changing the "read aloud" voice in ChatGPT to the dramatic British man is one of the better decisions I've made

The perfect overlap of humbleness, cats and psytrance. This guy gets it.

Get games, give to charity, help victims of the California wildfires! What's not to like (except the wildfires)

The first public demo of Ultimate Sheep Raccoon will be free on Steam, Feb 21-23! ๐Ÿ Two racetracks ๐ŸŽฎ Online & local multiplayer ๐ŸŽ‰ Wild racing shenanigans Read more here: store.steampowered.com/news/app/2923350/view/541096903480181602

The Queerness and Games conference is looking for speakers and games to showcase! Montreal, Sep 26-28 ๐Ÿ˜ธ www.qgcon.org/cfp

So glad we have someone like Amanda Askell working on the future of AI. Excellent @lexfridman.bsky.social podcast including her and others from Anthropic!

Got and framed my excellent prints from @helveticablanc.bsky.social Excited to put them up! ๐Ÿคฉ

Just donated to the Good Food Institute! They seem to be doing cool things and seem legit based on my research: gfi.org I'm certain we're going to look back in 50 years and be apalled at how we used to raise animals just to kill them for meat (Not a vegetarian, but still think eating meat is weird)

So I started Balatro and I think I get it

The Clever Endeavour team attended GAMERella Game Jam! CEO @richmakesgames.bsky.social made a non-Chicken Horse game, and Programmer Austin was a mentor for all the gamejammers. Thanks for having us, and good job to everyone that participated!
